Broadcast
The Company’s broadcast segment includes:

(ii) News Nation, a live daily national newscast and general entertainment cable network. WGN America’s News Nation, their growing national newscast, competes with other established national newscasts such as CNN, FOX News, and MSNBC for viewers.

(iii) Two digital multicast networks, owned and operated by the company and other multicast network services. Although the commercial television broadcast industry historically has been dominated by the ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX television networks, other newer television networks and growing popularity of subscription systems, became significant competitors for the over-the-air television audience.
